Does the 4.5 historian work with a linked server in SQL Server 2012?
The documentation only mentions MSSS2008R2.

SQLstr datepart
I am using a SQLstr to get data from historian that only occurs between hours 10 and 11 using the DATEPART function. I get the "Column ID is invalid" error and I am assuming it is referring to the use of "timestamp" for the column name.
Here is my code:
SELECT ihRawData.timestamp AS Timestamp FROM ihRawData WHERE DATEPART(hh,timestamp) >= 10 AND DATEPART(hh,timestamp) <= 11
I want this to work for any set of days rather than a "specified set" (ex. BETWEEN 6/1/2014 AND 6/30/2014), hence I left out the day conditions.
Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Alarm Counters - reset to zero?
I ran across an article in the KB that explained that the unack alarm counters are not these ghostly, embedded, unreachable objects that I thought they were. Turns out its just a count of the tags that have the New" Alarm" bit set. Clear those bits in the database and the counters zero.
So... How can this be done programmatically in reasonable time? I've no clue how to loop through the entire database and even if I did work that out, I think the time it would take for VBA to open , check, change and and close each tag in the db would be prohibitively expensive.
Is there a technique already available for this purpose?
This mismatch from the alarm summary display to the alarm counter numbers happens on occasion, either through event messaging or maybe phases of the moon, and just running a routine to clear them out would be nice to have available.

GE Compatability Matrix Latest Version
Hi guys,
I've been trying to locate the latest GE Compatability Matrix Latest release as I'm trying to figure out if Server 2012 / SQL 2012 is supported for CIMPLICITY 8.2 / PPS 2.2?
I've tried hunting the web but nothing has come up to clearly define this. I do have an older copy of the Compatability matrix which only shows Server 2008 / SQL 2008.
If someone already knows the answer to the above that would be greatly appreciated if you could just post on here:
Q: Does CIMPLICITY 8.2 / PPS 2.2 support / run on Server 2012 / and databases on SQL 2012?
Cheers

Only 1 Object becomes black on the Screen!
Hello everyone,
we have a really strange issue with Cimplicity.
After months of normal operation it seems that we've had lost the connection to an Object (Button was "Black"). After switching to an other screen it worked properlly again. It wasn't a big problem because it has appeared just once after months.
But this issue has appeared twice last week with the same Object. After switching the screens and some restarts it started to work again.We've tried to solve this issue but without a success till now. Additional to this a new Object lost the connection.
We are using smart objects and all datas are stored on the same OPC-Server. If we would have a problem with the OPC-Server all Object should be black but its nomally just one.
Strange is also that it was most of the time the same Object and we have had this issue with an additional Object this week as well.
We realised that the same screen was displayed on several clients during the "Black" Object issue.
Switchig the screens and restart Cimplicity can't be the proposed solutions ;).
Grateful about every help.

Hang/crash after retrieving boolean value by address
We have some code in one of our screens that retrieves data from certain points in a PLC by address (the addresses are calculated in the script).
For certain points a boolean value is supposed to be retrieved. However this (sometimes) results in Cimview hanging and not responding anymore at all, not even proper error handling is preventing/catching anything.
My code is as follows:
The strange thing is that if I change the TYPE in the address to BYTE, WORD or INT, the application doesn't hang and a value is retrieved.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what might be wrong and how I can fix it (or general suggestions even), or if there is an alternative I can use instead of the above address/above method.
I'm using cimplicity 8.1 SIM 23 + Windows Server 2003 SP2 on the server and Cimplicity 8.2 SIM 21 + Windows 7 on the clients

Trouble Reading Text from AB PLC 5 ASCII
The iFIX 5.5 database type is TX addressed ENET.RPLC.A456:0
The plc 5 Addresses are A456:0 = "KI"and A456:1 = "NG"
The older iFIX 4.0 database displays "KING"
iFIX 5.5 displays "75"
Any ideas on how to correct this would be appreciated?

Slow Data Writing
Hello. I am having some issues with data writing speed. I am running iFix 5.5 with an OPC driver and PLC5/40 online. This is all running on my workstation with the PLC connected via switch. In Workspace I am setting an analog/digital registers value with a button, using VB script. The group in OPC server has a Poll Rate of '01:00' and the datablocks have an Access Time of '01:00.' When I click the button, it takes up to 5 sec to set the value in the database and update the picture in Workspace. The update happens the same time as the database updates.
This happens when I use the code 'WriteValue Shift, "SCADA1.pointname_AR.F_CV"' or 'ToggleDigitalPoint "Fix32.SCADA1.pointname_DR.F_CV"', and when I use the command builder in the animation dialog box.
Any ideas to speed up the data writing? I have the poll rate on all data blocks at 1 second which I thought would fix it. Anything lower than that the system bogs down.

Display PictureAlias
Is there an easy way to display the current picture alias on screen??
I don't see that exposed to me...
I am having issues with users navigating screens very quickly and picture aliasing is going haywire (I believe)....
I know "haywire" is a broad term, but I can not figure out why sometimes my "body" graphics are getting swapped into my navigation bar graphic...
I do not have any code to change out the nav bar graphic, yet if you click very quickly from screen to screen, I have seen my "main graphic area" get swapped into my nav bar area...
I do though have code that locks out nav buttons until the new graphic loads and then I unlock them...
I also spoke with GE about this and we narrowed it down to the ReplacePicture/ReplaceTGDPicture Subs in FactoryGlobals, although I don't want to modify this as I do not wish to break anything and they could go no further with support on it...
Any insight is helpful!

using @sub@ in a chart ?
I am using a chart object with the pens. The limits on the pen currently ar fixed. Does anyone know of a way to make the limits variable with a tag group ? I tried using @PV_MAX@ but it is looking for a numeric value. I want to use this same generic screen for multiple signal where these limits change.

Hi people, fine?
I need insert a value tag in a SQL Server (2008 R2) but i don't know how extract the information from iFix.
Wich step by step I do this? I already have a production environment here inserting tags on my database, I need insert more tags only.
PS: Sorry my poor english and regards.

IGS driver + SLC 500, all new data files can't be seen in iFIX database
I have an SLC 500 with about 100 data files, I can access them all fine in database manager via the IGS OPC server, some example tags are :
AA tag: ENET.JXNCR.N58:1
DA tag: ENET.JXNCR.B98:1/0
In the PLC this data file is set with no protection and as global
When I add a new table N66 and try and access word 1 fix says "No Data" as the latched alarm.
I've tried adding new Float and Binary files with the same problem, it won't let me access any new data tables I add when I do a full download with no errors in the processor error words.
If I add a tag in the OPC quick connect tool, I can see the data from my existing data files, but if I point it to my new data file it cannot see the data.
What am I doing wrong?

XY Chart new point location
I am using an XY chart for monitoring some constantly changing data.
The idea is that using a plot style of 'Points_Line' and an update rate of 5 seconds that the chart will look like a moving worm. The issue here is that there is no customization on the chart to show the most resent point in a different colour or shape. Therefore the operators struggle to quickly understand the history of the chart and process.
Is there a way to change the colour or shape of the most resent point on the XY chart to define the historical path.
Thanks

Using iFix on a virtual machine
Hello! I created a VM from an image of a customer machine running iFix. It should work exactly like the physical machine.
Usually I delete the security files in the LOCAL folder to get easy access to the system. For this particular project I get an error "iFix security is disabled" on startup screen. Clicking OK doesnt make the error go away as it reapperas within seconds. If I add the security files back into the LOCAL folder I cant go into design mode or access VB editor. I dont see any security configured in the SCU. Maybe it is tied up to the windows login. I didn't create a login for the VM. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Cimplicity Access right
Good morning,
i'm facing a problem with a cimplicity project of a power turbine, currently we are not able to write any value on the PLCs even the reset is not working but all read parameters are being displayed correctly.
I i thought that it is a problem of access rights so i give the logged user all the rights for the project folder and the cimplicity folder but still i'm facing the same problem.
Please advise!

PLC Communication fails
We hava a system running iFix 5.1 and IGS driver 7.58
That works well with Rockwell ControlLogix 5000, ver. 20
Now - due to some hardware parts - we are running Rockwell Studio 5000 Logix Designer, ver. 21 (the L75 CPU has firmware 21)
Now there appears not to be any connection from IGS to the PLC.
We have the rigth IP-settings - and the HMI PC can ping the PLC - the driver setup has not changed from when it worked.
Is the firmware 21 requiring a newer IGS-driver...? I can see that 7.514 is available on the GE homepage.
If so - how do I upgrade without causing too much trouble?
Can I export all my tags in 7.58 and import in 7.514?

System Datastore
Just looking at efficiency on my historian and notice that with an upgrade to 5.5 that we have done there is now the system datastore. There are also now lots of archive files generated that is part of this datastore.
I understand that I can create numerous datastores and asign tags to those but the system datastore is generated automatically by the application.
What is this system datastore, and what data is stored in it?
Can I view this data?
Not much in the help files.

About Patches Validation
Hello, I'm new in iFix.
GE publishes monthly this document about "Critical Microsoft Security Patches":
Information on Product Compatibility with Critical Microsoft Security Patches
I wish to know what "Potential Vulnerability (Pending validation)" means. The patches mentioned in this column can be installed or is it recommended not to do so?
I'm asking this because in the May document, some patches appear duplicated in the "Potential Vulnerability (Pending validation)" and "Validated Security Patches" columns.
Thanks in advance,
Martín
